The iPhone Dev Team has just released a near final version of Redsn0w 0.9.5 for both Windows and Mac. This beta release, like all the previous ones is meant for iPhone 3G and iPod touch 2G only, running iOS 4 (formerly iPhone OS 4). Apart from multitasking and wallpapers support on iOS 4.0 on iPhone 3G and iPod touch 2G, this version also brings support to enable battery percentage which otherwise is disabled by Apple.
iOS 4 is the first firmware in which Apple has completely cut off the support for aging original iPhone EDGE and iPod touch first-generation. Their decision of course is justified because of the low RAM found in these first-gen devices which were released back in 2007. But all is not lost as the iPhone jailbreak community has now come up with a mod, which brings the complete look and feel of iOS 4 (formerly iPhone OS 4) for iPhone 2G. The mod is basically based on the iPhone OS 3.1.3, to replicate the experience of iOS 4 on iPhone 2G (EDGE).
The response that Apple has got for the new iPhone 4 has far outstretched their supply chain. Apple today has issued a statement in which they have stated that more than 600,000 iPhone 4s have been pre-ordered through Apple and its carrier partners yesterday. According to reps at AT&T, this is ten times as many orders as they took for the iPhone 3GS last year.
The official ultrasn0w unlock has been released by iPhone Dev Team for iPhone 3GS, with older bootrom running 04.26.08 baseband on iOS 4.0 (formerly iPhone OS 4). For those of you who preserved their baseband by jailbreaking iPhone 3GS on iOS 4 using PwnageTool can now unlock, provided that your phone is running the older 04.26.08 baseband.
Steve, the guy who was behind PushFix 2.0 (the first real fix for Push Notifications) for unlocked iPhones and Blacksn0w RC2 fix for iPhone 3.1.3 has just released Blacksn0w RC2 for iOS 4. This version of blacksn0w is basically a repackaged version of the original unlock released by geohot, and the binaries which were recently released by MSFT Guy for 05.11.07 baseband on iPhone 3GS, running iOS 4.0 GM (formerly iPhone OS 4).
There are a number apps which allows us to upload our videos to Facebook via an iPhone or iPod touch. But a native option for this which is built right in to the OS will be something that we all will love to have. According to a piece of code found in iOS 4 GM candidate, it looks like that built-in Photos/Camera Roll app will most probably support uploading of videos directly to Facebook, alongside the existing YouTube, MobileMe, MMS and Email Video options.
The guy who previously unlocked iOS 4.0 Beta 4 (formerly iPhone OS 4), PwnageTool bundles for iPhone 3GS on iOS 4 and Blacksn0w RC2 patch for iPhone 3.1.3 is now back with a new patch, which makes Blacksn0w unlock compatible with iOS 4.0, provided that you have preserved your baseband to 05.11.07 using PwnageTool.
Yes you read that right ! AppSync for iOS 4.0 (formerly iPhone OS 4) is now available for all those of you who have managed to jailbreak your iPhones and iPod touches. For those of you who don't know, AppSync patches MobileInstallation file on iOS which is needed in order to install .ipa files manually without using iTunes.
We did inform you about PwnageTool bundles which were released yesterday to jailbreak iPhone 3GS on iOS 4.0 (formerly iPhone OS 4), while preserving your baseband on the older 05.11.07 or 04.26.08 so that you can unlock it using ultrasn0w or blacksn0w. We got lots requests via twitter, facebook and email for full instructions on how to patch the existing version of PwnageTool so that it can work with iOS 4.0 GM release. And so here are the complete set of instructions for you to get it to work.
iPhone 4 was announced at WWDC 10 by Steve Jobs in front of packed audience at Moscone Center, San Francisco. This release without a doubt is a significant jump in the iPhone line-up since its introduction back in 2007.
